Break The Business Podcast

Hi Podcast Listeners! Thanks for downloading this week.In the first segment, Ryan and Dave discuss last week's Rorie Kelly interview and Dave provides some interesting insight on the current composition of women in the executive ranks of major labels. Ryan and Dave also discuss the recent lawsuit between 19 Recordings and Sony Music. At issue in the case is whether Sony is shortchanging its artists by paying out streaming revenue at an unfairly low rate. The case underscores the outdated contractual structures that labels continue to embrace (to the detriment of its artists) even as the music industry continues to rapidly change.In the second segment, musician, marketing expert, and Music Marketing Manifesto founder John Oszajca stops by to talk about his years as a label artist. He also gives some very useful marketing tips and discusses how artists can market themselves effectively even on a limited budget.
